Designed by Me Contest

May 12 – 18, 2025

The Racine Art Museum teamed up with Rasmussen Diamonds for a brand-new design contest that celebrates the artistic power of jewelry. Ages 5 – 18 were invited to let their imagination come to life in sterling silver, dazzling diamonds, and vibrant gemstones by designing their own piece of jewelry. Three winning designs will be picked—one from each age group—and transformed into a work of art to be auctioned off. Proceeds will go to a charity of the child’s choice.

From Monday, May 12 to Sunday, May 18, everyone is invited to vote once per day for their favorite design from the 5 – 8 age group. RAM and Rasmussen Diamonds will each be selecting a winner from the other age groups.
